The cheapest used electric car will still run you about $25,000, but it’s an affordable way to get into the green automotive game. With manufacturers like Ford, GM and Honda all investing heavily in electrification, the 2021 model year will likely inject the used market with EVs that can compete with gas-powered vehicles in the sub-25K price range.

Aside from wiper blades and tires, EVs generally require less regular maintenance than their gasoline counterparts. So as EVs continue to make the transition from early adopter to mainstream, finding one in great condition will be easier than ever before. As such, the resale market for these cars will continue to improve as time goes by.

But for now, here’s what you need to know about buying the cheapest used electric car.

1. Kia Soul EV

While the EV version of this no-frills economy car was short-lived, you’ll be able to find some from the late 2010s on the used market for under $15,000 and sometimes even closer to $10,000. For that price, you’ll get a small, efficient crossover with smartphone connectivity and cutting-edge safety tech.

2. Nissan Leaf

As EVs have become more popular, dealerships and private sellers have had trouble keeping up with demand. As a result, you can often find 2017 Leafs on the market at a steep discount. These cars offer excellent range (107 miles with the 30 kWh battery pack) and, unlike newer models, haven’t been subject to significant battery degradation over the years.
